Thread: Stretching the skin,how to do it...

Great video on perhaps one of the most “underrated” topics when learning how to shave well. I know when I “discovered” stretching, it made all the difference in the world. Thanks for posting the video.

For what it’s worth, I enjoy using a little cloth to aid in my grip.

Thanks for the vid, nice razor and a great shave.
Blowing up your face with air i had never seen, i try that tonight

Cheers guys! And double cheers for any more tips, the more the merrier ...

Re stretching with air in the mouth - I'm lazy and it works even better once you've a little technique and muscle memory under your belt.

I have just found the thread. This is one mighty helpful video! I am sure I made some "mistakes". Thanks to you, Mikael

I try this whit my shave tonight,think i leave it whit hand stretching, air stretch is not my way

Thank you Rori!

Kalerolf: fair enough, whatever works best for each person = best way (for others - it's good to have a nice slippery soap going if you're doing the stretching with blowing out your cheeks technique, more than usual that is ).

Nice video, Mikael, I started blowing out my cheeks a few months ago as you do... :-)

Cheers Carl! I can see you huffing and puffing while your wife's wondering what's going on

My wife's pretty much ALWAYS wondering what's going on, really; I keep her on her toes...

As a newbee have found the video extremely helpful - thanks for your efforts.
